(heh, help? I'm terrible at math tbh..) Solve. -20=5/6x

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

First mutiply 6x on both sides to get the x out of the denominator. Now you should have -20(6x)=5

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Multiply -20 and 6x to get -120x=5

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Now divide both sides by -120 to get the x alone What you should have is x=5/-120

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Does the answer need to be a fraction or decimal?

OpenStudy (thedolorosablu3capricousg1rl):

I think decimal would work best

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Okay. Now you divide 5 and -120 After dividing you should get x=-0.04166666666

OpenStudy (thedolorosablu3capricousg1rl):

Ok, I get it now. Thank you very much. I appreciate your help.
